10 Best New Horror Movies For Halloween 2020
9. Saint Maud
Saint Maud is the most recent horror release from production giant A24, and with their previous flicks including Midsommar, Hereditary and The Witch - it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that this film has a lot to live up to.
The premise is of an end-of-life carer trying desperately to save the soul of her terminally ill patient- a patient who didn’t actually sign up for any of it. God speaks to Nurse Maud, propelling her to a pious life of saving sinners and putting nails in the soles of her Converse.Pious Maud becomes obsessed and will stop at nothing to achieve her godly mission.
Yes, there’s body horror, there’s blood, there’s the staples of the well-loved religious horror forerunners; but a dream-like and at times empathetic gaze manages to give the film its own unique form.
